Sounds like Sonata territory to me.
Either way, it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winnings winning.

I think a sonata turbo is closer to an RDX performer than it being closer to a cobalt ss/tc. Lol

Tman that is some funny ****.

Get it right. It was a four way dance although I could see the confusion as we lost track of the back to the future delorean after we hit 88mph. I pwnd all!!!!!

Yep I sold it. Was an awesome little daily driver and ran low 12's on run flats. It's no race regal, but it was nice

How do you like the 135i in comparison? Vids of it?

Have you drove it in the winter around there yet?

Depends on the year and options, but they can be had for decent miles in the mid 20's up to low 30's

No vids of it yet. It's still out in my Vegas place so no snow driving either. I'll try to get some vids of it when I get it back in Illinois. I'm leaving it out there in Vegas for work. I like it alot better. It's a good 500lbs lighter and way more nimble than the 335xi. It's just a matter of finding a sticky enough tire in the rear but honestly I'd rather use it on a road course than drag it.


Got a couple pics though.

Whats hilarious is that the story actually said 87.

It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car.
